Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
Description
This dish combines minced garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and optional hot sauce into a flavorful sauce that coats the chicken thighs evenly. Cooking on low heat for several hours gently tenderizes the meat and integrates the sauce flavors. The chicken skin is positioned upward to help it crisp when broiled after slow cooking, adding a textural highlight.
The finished chicken offers a rich mix of sweet and savory with the depth of garlic and smoky paprika. It’s suitable for serving alongside rice or vegetables. The slow cooker method simplifies preparation, making it convenient for busy or hands-off meal planning.
